Their are many poor places in America that you wouldn't think would be poor. Louisianna has the lowest average income of $42,423 a year and New Hampshire has the highest with the average income being $65,028. It doesn't say where California is ranked but i bet we're in the middle. 65 thousand a year is comfortable living but its no where near being rich. Becoming rich now a days is very hard to come by with our economy in a recession. I hope we get out of this recession so we can all be making BANK living happily!!!

A list of the top 50 jobs has came out recently with systems engineer being #1. #50 being outside sales representative. Most of the careers had a lot to do with technology. Technology as we all know is always advancing now a days and it is giving us jobs but also taking them at the same time. With technology i can e-mail my teacher and type my homework and put it on my wikispace and not waste paper. Technology is moving us forward and up!
